  Initially many parents notice developmental delays but pediatricians often dismiss these concerns by stating "every baby develops differently" and "the baby will catch up". Often at about 10-14 months of age, children may start to exhibit trouble tracking [ntsad.org]

The prognosis for individuals with Sandhoff disease is poor. In the Infantile form, affected children usually do not survive past the age of 3 and death is generally caused by respiratory infections. [disabled-world.com]

Features of the Disorder Developmental delay (motor and speech skills) Intellectual disabilities Weak muscle tone Difficulty with coordinated movement (e.g. ataxia) Seizures Vision loss Eye abnormalities (e.g. cherry-red spot) Hearing difficulty Paralysis PROGNOSIS [evolvegene.com]

(Etiology) Sandhoff Disease is caused by the deficiency of 2 enzymes, which include: β-hexosaminidase A and β-hexosaminidase B The deficiency of these enzymes is due to an abnormal (mutated) gene called HEXB. [dovemed.com]

An etiologic study(5) of children with mental retardation showed that 14.5% of these cases were attributable to neurolipidosis. Juvenile Sandhoff disease is rare(1), but there have been several case reports of this illness(6,8). [indianpediatrics.net]

Consequently, the frequency of known diagnoses in our study was not directly comparable with similarly designed epidemiological studies. [bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com]
